Email sent! I would like anthing “kitcheny” - for my newly remodeled kitchen. Red would be cool! Like refrigerator magnets. Or anything from the sender’s locale—I collect shot glasses. I’ll be happy with anything! Woohoo! (OMG! Christmas is only 6 weeks away!) ---

I’m in too-email sent! 🙂 Like FairyChatMom, something from the Santa’s home locale would be nice; I’m into “kitschy” too and can never have enough coffee mugs!! 😃 Oh yeah, I love dark chocolate! 🙂 ---

I’m in. I already have a couple of items already. And it will give me an excuse to get out of the house this weekend. ---

Email will be sent in a minute. Oh boy!! I love chocolate, anything purple, kitschy stuff, American pop culture, geeky things, all things Trek. Or anything at all that you’d like to send. ---

I’m in. I’ll be sending the email next time I get into my email. I’d love to get a sweet dragon like the one I got from SS last year. Or a fun, useless toy, along the lines of a Magic 8 Ball or a Slinky (not either of these exact items, though, as I have them both, but I can’t think of anything else in that category off the top of my head). ---

Well, since no one said I couldn’t, I’m in. I love the idea of something from the SS’s area. Otherwise, anything goofy, funny or downright odd. ---

I’m in! Um… I’m way more excited by the idea of presents than what’s actually _in_ the package. I like goofy, even tacky, odd, geeky, or otherwise the sort of thing that you _have_ to send to someone. ;^) ---

Well, speaking as the person who got a Christmas gift from **Big Girl** last year, I’ll vouch for the lady’s talent at gift giving. I’m in. I promise I’m not as much of a religious fanatic as I think I might come across in my posts. I’m also an SF geek and a mystery geek, and one of the many reasons my best friend is as good a friend as she is is she gives me a Far Side calendar every year at Christmas. I don’t have pets, but I do volunteer at an animal shelter. Oh, and as **Scuba Ben** and **Edward the Head** can attest, I’m female, and I still haven’t forgotten that drug search from Dope-a-Weem! Thanks for doing this, **greenbean**. Last year’s was a blast, including finding just the right thing to give my person. CJ ---

I’m in too. I like coffee mugs, especially sort of lame touristy ones. Something that’s specific to where you are, especially if it’s someplace odd is fun. ---

I’m in, e-mail sent, request is the same as last year: In my house there is a room. In this room there is a pool table. Around this pool table there are bookshelves. On these bookshelves there are books. I don’t need books. I have almost 1500 books. Instead of books, I now put weird things on the bookshelves. Examples: The Jetson’s Happy Meal toys, various Lego things, including Action Jack and Star Wars stuff, the very cool hourglass I got last year from my Secret Santa, a dried fish head from Russia, an empty monitor shell with Beatles holograph cards pasted inside the picture area, multitudes of weird, odd, or funny sculptures. You get the drift, I assume. If it’s weird, funny, or downright strange it goes on the bookshelf. - welby ---

I’m signed up. And high maintenence. Something for the office, a wall calendar or trinket would be nice, or something unique to where you are would be cool too, or something shiny, I’m a sucker for shiny things… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-santa-2003/213041.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-santa-2003/213041.md?page=3)
